Marcus Comes to Dinner at My House

Mom: (to me) Dinner is alomst ready, when is your friend Marcus going to be here?
Me: He should be here any minute, I told him 7:30.
Brother: Well, if he's not here in 5 minutes I am eating without him.
Mom: We will wait for our guest before eating, I just hope he doesnt take too long.

5 Minutes later Marcus arrives

Marcus: Hi, Im sorry I am late, I forgot my cell phone and had to run back to get it.
Me: It's fine. This is my mom and my brother John.
Mom: It's nice to meet you Marcus I hope you like turkey.
Marcus: It's nice to meet you too, and I dont eat meat but dont worry about it.
Mom (to me): Why didnt you tell me Marcus was a vegetarian I would have made something else!
Me: I forgot, he can eat the sides. It's not a big deal.
Marcus: Please dont worry about it, it all looks wonderful.
Brother: It looked even better five minutes ago when it was hot.
Mom: Please everyone start...Marcus, where do you live?
Marcus: I live in the marina in SF.
Mom: Oh, I love the marina, my sister used to live there.
Marcus: Yeah, its not bad. Full of overprized apartments, wealthy internet nerds, and crunchy work out freaks, but I have managed to find my own place.
